Abstract
The response from the user community has shown a great
need for the Forestry Thematic Exploitation Platform
(Forestry-TEP) that entered into the pre-operational
phase in
summer 2017. Forestry TEP offers a one-stop-shop for
forestry remote sensing services. It makes data value
adding
quicker and smoother than traditional approaches that the
users have applied. The platform offers access to
imagery,
computing infrastructure, ready-made value adding
services
and an opportunity for users to develop and upload their
own
applications to the platform. It forms a worldwide
marketing
channel for commercial remote sensing services and a
networking forum for users.
Ten thematic processing services are presently available
on the Forestry TEP - from computing vegetation indices
and
mapping of land and forest cover to biomass and change
estimation. In addition, a user can utilize all the
features of
the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) image processing
application, the Monteverdi/Orfeo toolbox, and the open
source QGIS tool. The platform will move to an
operational
phase in 2018.
